The tariff conference OF last summer has already
borne fruit In two noteworthy utterances by men
holding distinguished positions In public life Mr.
Caritsie's speech IN accepting his election TO
the speakership was a plain statement that the
business before the House this session was TO revise
the tax laws and 10 prevent the further accumu-
latiOn OF a dangerous surplus In the Treasury.
Yesterday Congress received from the President
his annual message, which IL devoted almost ex-
ciuslvely 20 discussion OF the tax question. This
Indicates that the President and the speaker are
In accord on this subject and fully aroused to the
necessity OF prompt and vigorous action on the
part q: Congress TO relieve the threatened strtn.
gency IN the money market.
Tn. Speaker, by pleasant fiction. IS supposed TO
require time enough, after his election TO get per-
sonaly acquainted with the Representatives. be-
tore gapportioning them among the committees:
but OF course, Mr. Carlilse knew that he was going
TO be the speaker OF the present House long before
he was called to the chair, and the leading men,
Ders Of the several committees are always Sc
lectec from the older representatives, with
whom the Speaker Is already acquainted
while the newer ones are used merely to
pad out the lists Hence it Is probable that
with one or two exceptions, Mr.. Carlisle
has already settled In his mind, pretty definitely
the committee status Of each OF his associates In
the House. There Is no reason why the committee
appointments should not be published early in the
session and the House enabled 70 get well TO work
before the holidays AT all events, even II nothing
more were done for the present, the same plan
might be pursued this year as was followed at the
beginning Of the Forty ninth Congress- when the
committee on rules was named az the outset, and
the time occupied by the debate on its report was
used with good effect by the Speaker In making
out the co IMPOSITION OF the other committees. The
rule which IL Is proposed to revive could be re-
ported By the committee and got out Of the way,
and the path would then be clear for the introduc-
lion OF business legislation which the country so
much needs.
